Nothing wrong with being fiscally conservative. Apple works in a fiscally conservative manner and it didn't stop them from beating everyone else.

Nothing is wrong that that approach especially given the circumstances I outlined above. However, there is greater potential for obvious reasons with the Microsoft / Sony approach (Even if it's never / rarely fully realized or capitalized upon).

No one lives long term only on potential. Most companies that success are fiscally conservative. Living above your possibilities bite in your ass at the end.

I don't disagree but with corporations as large as Sony and Microsoft there is such an immense amount of resources at their disposal that being fiscally conservative doesn't jive too well with being a pro-active company. Microsoft and Sony have their hands in so many different regions of business that they can't play the game without an aggressive attitude.
Obviously, Microsoft and Sony have not exclusively 'only lived on potential' either. If anything, Nintendo has been that company for several generations prior to the Wii.

Not necessarily. Unrealized potential gives you a chance to identify where your problems lie and how to improve upon them to realize future potential. Without failure, you cannot have success.
